I'm sorry hun *hug*, just some advice..

Its been 2 months, thats 60 days. Today is harder than yesterday.. most of us have been there. Some people get over it quick some people don't.

It all depends on you. You don't need a psychiatrist, or sessions, pills or drugs or u don't have to get drunk. What you need is friends to talk it out with like us here, get into doing activities that help you forget and focus more on today than yesterday.

Like you said "Love is bitter sweet". It ain't all "shmoopy shmoopy, I love you" all the time. Since you already know this, you're half way cured, well i'd say you're 75% cured. :)

The remaining 25% is just icing on the cake. Now, if you were with him for a while, I won't lie to ya, it may take a bit. You may hear a song on the radio that was like you would say "Our Song" or you may see something that reminds you of him or sniff a cologne that he used to wear..

Its life sweetie. If it were that easy, there would be no tears. At this time, get yourself into doing activities, keep your mind off it, hang out with your friends. 'laughter is the best medicine' maybe a stupid saying but it works.

Ok i've babbled enuff, here's a website that could help ya too..

This ain't my business hun, but if he left ya or vice versa, there's either a reason or there's not. All you can do now is move on and wish him well. Forgive and forget. Be a bigger person than he is.

Well I wish I could give you some advice but unfortunately I am the kind of person who can turn the page right away. That or I just never met a girl who REALLY affected me.

Anyway I am gonna tell you what my friends (male or female) do to try and forget, and eventually meet new people, date again etc...

What you need to do is find something to occupy your time. Sport is good as it releases the stress, and you almost always feel good (physically and mentally) afterwards. You can find some new hobbies. Through activities like those you will also meet new persons...

Now about comparing ppl with your ex, well it's natural. Even in my case, after turning the page, I ALWAYS compare potential gfs with my ex's. Comparing is actually good, as long as you accept the fact that EVERYONE is different, and different is good. Nobody's perfect, and you need to realize that while that new guy you just met might not have that specific quality your ex had, he most probably have others just waiting to be discovered.

And one last thing, it's been only 2 months... It could be a good thing for you to forget about dating for a while. Don't worry about it and who knows, love could be waiting at the next turn! In most cases the best love stories start when you least expect it!

Anyway it's a good thing you stumbled upon the forums. You'll meet some nice ppl this way which might help if you're new in Dubai and it's a nice way to share your thoughts, ideas and give/get advice on several topics...

some people said how long you've been into the relationship, then how long it'll take to recover.

hmm i guess everyone goes through this phase sometime nor the other in their life. like nick said the best way is to indulge yourself in some activity. If you have some time on hand definately you are gonna think about him and what hes doing since its just two months old.

Believe in whatever happens, happens for the good and move on with life :)

cheers,

Jerry

and by the way would u accept the rose in my avtar :lol: :lol:

You have to try not to compare the guys you meet with your ex, this is unfair to the other guys and it will be always an obstacle to make a fresh start with someone else. You shouldn't make your ex a milestone in your life because you're going to find even more like him, don't forget that the show must go on even without you, life's not stopping and you have to ment your pieces no matter how hard can it be and go for something new.
You shoud look back in your past and use it as a reference and avoid the mistakes you've done, but don't live in the past....

Believe me life get's better everyday, enjoy :)

just for you ahem....

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
